Electrical requirements
General requirements
NOTE: GE requires a dedicated power and ground for the proper
operation of its Ultrasound equipment. This dedicated power
shall originate at the last distribution panel before the Ultrasound
system.
The Ultrasound System will function on voltages from 100-240
Volts and 50 or 60 Hz. However, if using 220 volt power in North
America, then a center tapped power source is required.
Sites with a mains power system with defined Neutral and Live
:
The dedicated line shall consist of one phase, a neutral (not
shared with any other circuit), and a full size ground wire from
the distribution panel to the Ultrasound outlet.
Sites with a mains power system without a defined Neutral
:
The dedicated line shall consist of one phase (two lines), not
shared with any other circuit, and a full size ground wire from the
distribution panel to the Ultrasound outlet.
NOTE: Please note that image artifacts can occur, if at any time within
the facility, the ground from the main facility's incoming power
source to the Ultrasound system is only a conduit.
Electrical requirements for the Ultrasound System
The electrical requirements vary depending on the mains
voltage and the equipment in use.
